We ask that you allow 3-4 weeks to receive a notice regarding the approval or denial of the request. 

If your student receives Special Education services, allow a minimum of four weeks as we have our Special Education department review the IEP.

You will receive a copy of the transfer application via mail to the address provided on the application. 

We request the most recent IEP to ensure the services the student needs are available at the school or district requested. 

A new intradistrict transfer will need to be submitted if there's an address change. 

Otherwise, it is valid through the last grade at their current school. (i.e. 5th, 8th, 12th)

A new interdistrict transfer will need to be submitted if there's an address change or if your district of origin is one of the following:

• Capistrano USD
• Del Mar Union SD
• Lake Elsinore USD
• Murrieta Valley USD
• San Dieguito Union High SD
• Temecula Valley USD

Otherwise, it is valid through the last grade at their current school. (i.e. 5th, 8th, 12th)

Transfers can only be approved by Student Services once available space has been verified by school staff.   

During the month of July, schools are closed and Student Services cannot approve transfers until school staff is available to verify space availability. 

Transfers for students with IEPs can only be approved once the Special Education Department has verified that there is space available in a program that can provide services aligned to the offer of FAPE. 

Admission to Magnet Schools is only available through the annual Magnet School lottery process.

Transfer requests from students with poor behavioral or attendance histories may be denied.
